Michael Cohen, a former lawyer for former President Donald Trump who recently served as the “star witness” in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s dubious “hush money” case, wants to run for Congress in 2026.
In an interview with New York Magazine, Cohen stated that he intends to challenge U.S. Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) in an effort to represent New York’s 12th Congressional District. “We thank him for his service, but it’s enough already,” Cohen said of Nadler.
Cohen intends to announce his campaign on November 6, one day after the upcoming elections. He will be looking to unseat one of the longest serving members of Congress in Nadler, who has been in office for more than three decades.
The disgraced lawyer — who went to prison for fraud and perjury — added that he would have preferred to run this year but was unable to after suffering a “mental breakdown” from the Trump case.
“What a great country America is,” he said. “Anyone can run for Congress — even con men.”
